I work for a small ISP servicing both fiber customers and a diminishing (Thanks, starlink) number of fixed wireless customers.
We use all Mikrotik hardware for routing. RouterOS is so flexible and capable. But it is absolutely not user friendly.
For large scale commercial deployments we use Ubiquiti equipment. There is always a Mikrotik router but the APs are all Ubiquiti. It’s just easier and cleaner for us to manage deployments that way.
I see no reason why someone just casually playing with their home network would use Mikrotik though.
We use Cambium for Point-to-Multipoint mostly because the price and selection is better than Ubiquiti but we use the wireless backhaul gear from Ubiquiti in a few spots.
To be perfectly honest if Ubiquiti had the right kind of hardware and management capabilities for us to serve as the root of any deployment I would probably use it everywhere.
